What are your favorite fishing pliers?

I used 8" needle nose pliers with cutter since I was a kid and they worked well. For the last season and a half I have been using these and like their lighter weight multi function much better than the needle nose. Best of all the price was right, free when I bought a reel. Their 7 1/2 " long and cover hook removal, split rings, line cutting, crimping, swedging and came with sheath and landyard.



EDIT: They retail for $40

These Donmar Checkpoints have been my go-to pliers for years and years now used them everywhere on everything.

I am topped out with my budget for toys right now so I'm going to stick with my old standard: needle nose vice grips.

Someone gave me a pair of those and I've been wondering......Thanks for the reminder.

I've used these for 20+ years. Standard electrician's side cutters. If braid needs to be cut I use the scissors from bass pro shops. These are serrated and cheap. They get the job done.
